Dossinodes "Indra's Web"

Hopefully Areal roots and tuberous caudexes count as foliage.....

Myrmecodia Echinata (the areal roots are just sprouting, so they are small, they started forming just a day after it went into the viv)

Miltonia spectabilis var. mooreliana, rhipsalis sp., and pepperomia sp. all on a branch

-Caden

[QUOTE=harrywitmore;314878]I was out in the beautiful weather we are having checking on some Selaginella I have outside and thought I would post this one. Not sure how it will do in a viv but it's tiny and very cool.

Selaginella sanguinolenta var compressaQUOTE]

I think I had that one a few years ago, got it from a place that sell tiny terrarium plants to grow with bonsai. Did ok for awhile, then I think it got too dry and withered....really cool and tiny selaginella though..........

Some neat No-IDs growing out of gonocormus and plagiomnium.

Pilea grandifolia - I rather like this one although it's not spectacular. It like very low light.

I have to disagree on that one Harry, I think it IS spectacular. Its nice to see a green plant with such nice texture. How well does it like viv conditions?

Sarah, I'm a big fan of green and texture but most people are not. This plant would do well in a terrarium. Most of the Pileas are great in terrariums but they do grow fast and many are upright as this one is. They help provide diversity in the terrarium though. Here's one of the leaves close up just for giggles.

This is what I mean by diversity of colors and texture. A look from my balcony into the front greenhouse.

Actually that's the foliage from all the plants in the troughs and the epiphytes on the tree limbs you see there. I had to dismantle and replace the wall with material I got like epiweb and it's got allot of small orchids on it. But they haven't done much. I need to get an injection system for fertilizer since I'm lazy about fertilizing.
